HENkaku updated: adds Dynarec support + “something nice”
Hacker yifanlu just mentioned on twitter that HENkaku has been updated. The update adds Dynarec support and “something nice for those looking under the hood”, to celebrate a milestone for the hack: More than 30’000 installs (that’s now 3 times more in 5 days than Rejuvenate in its entire lifespan).
What’s Dynarec?
Dynamic Recompilation is basically a feature of the operating system that lets a program recompile some code at runtime. Long story short, it’s extremely useful for emulators and the like, because those need to do cross-platform code conversion on the fly. Having native support for such a feature basically means improved speed for emulators. Emulators will not get this for free though, the developers of emulators on the vita will need to implement Dynarec in their code. Yifanlu provided some pointers on how this is achieved, so we should expect some nice emulator updates in the days or weeks to come.
What’s the surprise?
It’s too early to tell, until people start looking at the new HENkaku payload and see what’s changed. Maybe Team molecule will tell us eventually, or maybe someone will figure it out soon. In the meantime, people are speculating and asking for random things, ranging from the possibility to overclock the system, to full fledged kernel access. Let’s wait and see here. Given the rate at which news have been pouring since the HENkaku release last week, I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody has figured it out by the time I wake up tomorrow morning.
HENkaku has 30k unique installs! To celebrate we’ve pushed an update. Dynarec support and something nice for those looking under the hood 😉

How do I get the HENkaku update?
The easiest way to get the update is basically to reinstall HENkaku. This is simply done by powering off your PS Vita completely (press the power button for a few seconds until you get the option to power off), then either use the “install” option from molecularShell or point your Vita browser again to henkaku.me, and hit the Install button.
If you’ve never installed HENkaku before, the process is the same. All you need is a PS Vita running firmware 3.60. Load the PS vita’s browser, go to the official site, and press “install”.

i’m hoping for internal memory support pretty soon as i don’t have an sd at the moment
get a 4gb, they’re like 8 dollars.
SD’s don’t work. You need Sony’s proprietary cards, which aren’t cheap.
As expensive as Vita Memory cards are…..Sony could push out an official update that allows for Piracy and people would get all excited until they realize how much memory cards are…Sony would be making MEGA PROFIT off those Memory Cards with pirates wanting 64GB cards…you know Sony can’t be paying more than $5 for the 64GB chips in those…GameStop is selling 64GB ones for $130…..heck, if they used standard MicroSd, you could get a 64GB for $25 at WalMart
“Clicks like button”
But what’s the read/write speed? The equivalent quality MicroSD for VITA is actually more around that of class 8, if I remember correctly. The price is more comparable, though yes the VITA Mem is still more expensive. I just wish we got more 3rd party PSV cards to bring down the price via market competition.
I wouldn’t be surprised that if piracy happens on the vita then someone will be making an adapter with the outer shell of a vita memory card but with a slot for a micro SD card to be placed inside. I know that if I had the know how I sure would be .
i got super lucky and got a card from japan for like $50-$60 a few years back. expensive but no ragerts
Agreed. And as Dillon said, I believe the Vita’s hacking scene can help the Vita community.
You see, the Cobra Blackfin could have done so much more for us if the developer had put his efforts into developing an alternative to sony’s memory card. All we want is a faster card, we already know it’s going to be expensive. But the price has not paid up to our expectations: the infamous C2-12828 error code popus up every so often if you are just like me, and take a few screenshots while you’re gaming. Backing up a game like Helldivers (3GB+) takes more than 15 minutes (Using QCMA). In other words you pay an overexpensive price to get a class-2 “micro sd” card because sony is just that greedy son of a b.
Has the Blackfin Team came up with an alternative to the standard Vita memory card, I’d get that in a heart bit. Oh well.
Cannot display the page. (C2-14921-7) after restart.
Worked fine, first time, here. Kinda surprised me.
Cannot display the page. (C2-14921-7) after restart.
Still the same issue. Anyone ?
Install it again.
I am trying. Switched networks. Got to the point where it says “welcome to Henkaku”, pressed OK and got C2-12828-1 error. Rebuilt the database and still nothing…Damn.
You have the monopoly on useful inmrofation-aren’t monopolies illegal? 😉
adipex…This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want�HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great st…
our bell curve model of risk is wrong. it’s good to see bankers are starting to look at powerlaws and dynamic system models. if you’re model of risk is wrong you will have pianos fall on your head more often than you think is reasonable.
You could try a coldboot, rebuilding the db, clearing internet history and then trying again.
It’s up and running now. Did all possible things except format. Restarted like 20 times.Thanks.
you must close the browser and run it again
same error, i tried reboot, rebuild db and delete cookies, nothing work
use henkaku.me instead 😉
Nice job
First.. maybe
Kernel access!!
found it under the hood! 😀
finally I’m pirating games………….
man ur a ***, i was kidding :p
First can’t wait for kernel and cfw
It’s about time the vita got some momentum (bash on Sony guys not all the wonderful hardworking devs out there) i sure do envy your guys’ talents xP
furst?
There’s a typo on the word power. Am pumped to know whats under the hood 🙂
Thanks, fixed the typo
OMG that’s great news indeed. actually dynarec recompiler is extremely important to enhancing emulators speed. Even though on ios when we have JIT (dynarec) we get fullspeed on emulators even ppsspp. But without it the speed will cut under the half and lagging as well. So that’s why dynarec is important. I hope we will get ppsspp and dolphin emu support on vita. It will be AMAZING. Just imagine to play resident evil 4 on vita through dolphin emu. or even psp games in hd. Because vita had original psp cpu inside it so that’s why psp games looks not clear and so pixelated as well.
In the meantime the project (retroarch) should add psx core on vita version because of dynarec is here.
the vita isnt that strong…
Why would we need ppsspp? The PS Vita is backwards compatible. It’s silly.
Dolphin doesn’t even run well enough on mobile phones, which are more powerful than the PS Vita.
PSP games on Vita run in PSPs native resolution. With PPSSPP we could increase the resolution in which the game is rendered making it look better.
Oh God. Ikaruga on DC! Don’t stress… own both consoles, officer. PSP with HD graphics. I’m wet now.
You guys are smoking weed if you think the Vita can run a PPSSPP emulator at HD graphics…
I’m smoking weed…
yes I am smoking weed…
hey guys missed out on the scene the last few months, is it worth now to upgrade my 3.15 i believe it was psvita to this new firmware for possible cfw or should i still stay on my old fw?
no, update to 3.60, it wont work with older ones
What’s left for me to say here? Benedict is just the man!!! Amazing!!! Thanks for the MacBook!!!Looking for another deal with you, your brother David and his wife. Thanks so much!!!
Works flawlessly for me; thanks for a very useful library. My one criticism of it would be the name, as I had to change the filename of the .jar… there is no way I’m installing a file on my client’s computer with a name like “vesijama” 🙂
Hej AlleJeg vil starte pÃ¥ kuren og kunne godt tænke mig at starte sammen med andre der ogsÃ¥ skal tabe sig…Jeg er en kvinde pÃ¥ 45 Ã¥r vejer lige nu 79 kg er 172 cm høj skal tabe mig ca 12 kg. Skriv hvis vi skal støtte hinanden:-)
I hope Henkaku leads to great things such as multiple region accounts, use of region free dlc, custom memory card slots development so as to abandon Sony’s overpriced cards,etc. And ofc a fully fledged open CFW like that of PSP. Thanks to developers.
I’m hoping for everything you listed except CFW (don’t want piracy until the device doesn’t get new games). It sucks to not be able to use DLC for a game you bought the North American version of because there’s no physical European release.
If piracy mattered the Vita wouldn’t have been abandoned and ignored. If piracy mattered the PS3 wouldn’t have almost sank Sony. If piracy mattered, it would matter.
Piracy.Does.Not.Matter.
I want to be able to run backups just so that I can still buy games even when there’s another update out. Spoofing the store is a bit too much of a pain in the *** imo.
Is there a point to updating my vita if I’m at TNV? Losing that psp hack seems hard to do…
I imagine someone will port it to 3.18 eventually. I am holding out for a bit myself, even though I have been waiting for a gfood reason to update so I can play some newer games as well. The developers said that it will be possible to port it to earlier firmwares, with some effort.
they said it COULD be done, not that it WILL be done
Vita is on fire! I just can’t join the HENkaku train hype yet because of my tnv stuff, but this is unprecedented indeed, haven’t seen too much vita love since its launch, I am pretty fraking sure once we get some way to run epsp on HENkaku then nobody will stop the bomb.
Wonder if I would get banned for doing this and if this could be done on the PS TV.
The fact that you’re asking these questions means you have done zero research what so ever. Both things are clearly answered in other front page topics.
Boo Yah
Boo Yah !!!
I can Update Henkaku now?
Any emu speed increases will help the end user experience and uptake/interest of HENkaku, which gives devs reasons to continue with it, and so on. I can imagine within a few months RetroArch having it in their Vita build cores, maybe even expand the amount of cores available to the Vita – I would like to see a faster, more playable GBA emu, for example. Yeah sure it’ll emulate perfectly on the 3DS but the games just look and feel better on the Vita, probably because the form factor is closest to the original (non-SP) Advance handheld and ofc OLED screen goodness.
I just read you could possibly be banned using this, so I guess a safer method would be to make a dummy account, deactivate your main account from the Vita, rebuild database and factory reset. Disable WiFi and automatic updates. Does anyone know if there’s a way to use VPN?
To be safe I should deactivate main account, rebuild database, factory reset, create new account, disable WiFi and automatic updates. Anything else I should do to ensure safety? Any VPNS?
Sorry for double post. My browser craahed it didn’t show the post I mafe .

HENkaku site is down, don’t restar your vita at this moment 🙁
oh noes! Good thing I got the exploit installed and vhbl bubble up when I did….
At undlade at tage stilling til organdonation er direkte uartigt overfor dem, der stÃ¥r tilbage ved en ulykke eller lignende. Pænere kan det ikke siges.Jeg mener, at det skulle være lovpligtigt at tage stilling – og at personer over 18 Ã¥r ikke skal kunne modtage organer, hvis de ikke selv er organgdonorer. Nemlig!
Olen myös tämän kirjan lukemisesta kiinnostunut ja oli hyvä lukea arviosi, joka säilytti kiinnostukseni edelleen kriittisyydestä huolimatta. Esittelit kirjan sopivasti kuitenkaan mitään liikaa paljastamatta. Pulkkisen kirjoja en ole minäkään lukenut, mutta yksi odottaa hyllyssä.

Website is down, what happened? will it come back or is there any mirror or something to use?
The website is down,what should i do
try henkaku.me on vita browser. works for me

im having the same problem as “drankoko”
Lol Sony still fighting for the system they abandoned 2 years within it’s life cycle. Give it up already it’s over.
I would hope for pairing of the Dual Shock 4 if possible
I Second That!!!
Hopefully we’ll see mGBA include dynarec so that it will be the best GBA emulator to use for Vita. No more VHBL with gpSP!
still waiting for the ps2 emulator
me to and me three
but what if pstv could use that usb port or perhaps a vita could stream games via wifi or bluetooth
Er, whoops, been juggling numbers all day and had a big brain fart there. Meant to say that there's got to be 200 million with IQs over 120 in India and China alone. Don't know how I clicked submit on that one…
